verse 1
Dm F G Dm
Gone off to sleep they have,
Dm F G Dm
my loved ones
Dm F G Dm
I lay down these fears I’ ve had
Dm F G Dm
since I was just a boy
Dm F G Dm
Scribblings in the pages scream
Dm F G Dm
out at you
Dm F G Dm
You’ ve seen this,
Dm F G Dm
and you know this to be true
Dm F G Dm
At last you’ve finally learned
Dm F G Dm
that “Stones” song
Dm F G Dm
You crash and you burn,
Dm F G Dm
and you don’t slow down for the turn
verse 2
Dm F G Dm
You constantly contemplate
Dm F G Dm
what’s best
Dm F G Dm
The good life
Dm F G Dm
Or the hell that you detest
Dm F G Dm
The band always wrecks the song
Dm F G Dm
like a dirty string
Dm F G Dm
Snaps when you need it most,
Dm F G Dm
and slits your wrist as it rings
Dm F G Dm
At last you’ve finally learned
Dm F G Dm
that “Stones” song
Dm F G Dm
You crash and you burn,
Dm F G Dm
and you don’t slow down for the turn
BRIDGE
F Dm
Mind you what’s behind you
A# A#
It’s gonna find you
Dm F G Dm
It’s gonna find you

Dm F G Dm
At last you’ve finally learned

You crash and you burn,
